2023: Rotimi Amaechi Knocks Wike,Gives Reason APC May Lose

Nigeria’s transportation minister, Rotimi Amaechi, has taken a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying it does not have good presidential aspirants. Amaechi, who is also a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stated this at the Constantial Hotel, Airport Road, Benin, while meeting with delegates of his party in Edo State. According to the two-term governor of Rivers state, the credibility of whoever the ruling party picks as its flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election is very important. He added that the APC would lose the election without a credible candidate.

The minister told the delegates:“Credibility of the eventual presidential candidate of APC for the 2023 race is very essential, if not, the governing party will lose the election. Out of all of us (presidential aspirants) from the South-South geopolitical zone, who can they (delegates and electorate) trust? If you pick the wrong candidate for the 2023 poll, APC will lose. I have evidence of my contributions to APC and Nigeria. PDP does not have good presidential aspirants.”

The former Rivers governor had nothing but good things to say about his time in office. He stated that he has the experience to serve, adding that he found a solution to the insecurity in the south-south state. He asked Nigerians to vote according to the capacity of the presidential aspirants, promising they will not regret it if they decide to vote for him.

Amaechi also visited the palace of Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare II, where he was specially hosted by the first-class monarch for over three hours.
